Abstract

Louis Isadore Kahn, (né Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky, le 20 février 1901 à Kuressaare - mort le 17 mars 1974 à New York) , est un architecte américain, d'origine estonienne. Il est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands architectes du XXe siècle. Ses principales œuvres sont aux États-Unis, en Inde et au Bangladesh. Souvent monumentales, elles marquent une attention particulière à la vie communautaire. Son langage personnel, relayé par son enseignement et ses écrits, traduit un travail rigoureux sur le plan, l’épaisseur de la paroi, la lumière et le matériau, particulièrement la brique et le béton armé.

Abstract

Paul Rudolph is one of the most inventive, versatile and controversial members of the postwar generation of American architects. Born in 1918 in Kentucky, Rudolph trained at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard under Walter Gropius, whose ideas (notably on the importance of teamwork and on the role of planners in architecture) he was in due course to reject as het evolved his basic principle : that urban design in the prerogative of the architect. Het began his career in partnership with Ralph Twitchell, an architect 30 years his senior, in Sarasota, Florida. The partnership concentrated on designing small houses, which already showed Rudolph to be abandoning the purist austority of Gropius. In 1958, with a school building in Sarasota, the Jewett Arts Center at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, and a project for a new American Embassy in Amman to his credit, Rudolph was appointed Chairman of the School of Architecture at Yale University. Among his larger projects during this period, were a number in New Haven itself, including housing and the parking garage for 1,500 cars. At Yale he designed the massive Art and Architecture Building, built in ribbed concrete. On leaving Yale in 1965, Rudolph moved to New York, where he continues to practise. His projects have assumed proportions which his early designs for houses did not presage. The New York Graphic Arts Center project of 1967, for example, embodies a gigantic framework intended to contain mobile prefabricated units - a combination of two concepts within one scheme, and an extraordinary instance of Rudolph's creative virtuosity.
